My mistake, I forget you have to specifically click on "reply to all" in these
new fangled e-mail clients. I bet I'm not line wrapping either. :/ Alas, the world
kinda insisted I move away from elm and pine many years ago, for reasons your .sig
suggests you know all too well...
P.P.S.: An interesting website you got!
Thank you!
And on a side note, I've now realised the more fundamental error I'd made. If
I want all the subsequent .D type paragraphs (.D being a macro I wrote that
sets a few stylistic values) to have spacing in between them, but not the
first, then I should be using a blank line to separate them, not specifying .D
again in between them all. In other words, it looks like I should only specify
the type of paragraph when it changes, not every time. And now my document
source looks a lot neater! So now I have both the answer I wanted and the
answer I needed. :)
Thanks again!
All the best,
Zoe.
That may not be what you need. A blank line has the same vertical
spacing as a .sp 1v request. Paragraph spacing is more typically
.sp .5v
You may need to set a variable that enables you to deal with the
first instance of a paragraph, then do the right thing for
subsequent ones.
